“Wendy was fantastic to work with! She really helped me out on a short notice and my girls and I are very grateful for her help. They look like they loved it! We will definitely book with Wendy”


“Deborah is awesome. My Frenchie puppy loves her and she is consistent and reliable. Communication is easy and she replies back quickly as well. I would highly recommend her :)”


“Catherine did a great job watching our little puppy Wrangler! She was able to help us out for a few weeks very last minute after getting our new puppy! She took time to let her out during the day, play with her, and give her attention! I would recommend Catherine!”


About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.

About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.

About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!

“Catherine was amazing! She is kind and really loves dogs. I will use her again in the future every chance I get. I’m fairly certain even after just one weekend she is my dogs second favorite person.”


“It was an absolute pleasure to have Katherine taking care of our cats and our house! She is very organized, prompt, proactive, thoughtful, and kind. Katherine has fantastic animal intuition and quickly figured out how to make our two cats comfortable. We could tell that she quickly won over our shy cat by the wonderful pictures and videos that she sent us throughout our vacation. Katherine communicated exceptionally well: before, during, and after her stay. And from the pictures and videos, it was pretty clear that the cats were enjoying being with her and enjoying life in general, which gave us great peace of mind. She even figured out a way to easily give one of our cats his medication – a process that I have now adopted! Katherine left the house clean and tidy. We whole-heartedly recommend Katherine!”


About: I’d describe myself as a professional dog walker as I have two of my own, as well as grown up taking care of dogs in all age/size ranges! I’d love to meet up with the pups and help them get some good exercise. I’m currently working part-time and have been looking for good ways to get active. My love for dogs is keeping me in shape! I have lots of free time to put towards helping other dog owners in need. My dogs are taken on walks or to the dog park at least once a day! They are also great with other dogs if doggy play dates are something your dog would enjoy! Or not, for the older more calm dogs who just need to get their steps in!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for over 25 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I currently have four cats, including one with chronic kidney disease and another who has idiopathic cystitis. So when it comes to special needs, medications, and keeping a close eye on health, I’ve got plenty of hands on experience. I also have a rescue dog who is reactive, which has given me firsthand experience with patience, understanding behavior, and creating a safe, calming environment. In addition to my cats and dog, I also have a crested gecko and maintain both a 10 gallon and a 40 gallon fish tank. I understand the unique needs of reptiles and aquatic life, including habitat maintenance, feeding schedules, and environmental monitoring. If needed, I am able to clean fish tanks, perform water changes, and ensure your reptiles or fish stay healthy while you’re away. Just let me know in advance if there will be any other animals that need care, so I can be fully prepared! I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone else with your pets. That’s why I treat every pet with the same level of love, attentiveness, and kindness as my own. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm companion, or someone to keep their routine just right, you can count on me. Your pets will be safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule. With a bit of notice, I can usually adjust to make most days or times work. I don’t work weekends, so I’m generally available then as well. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own. At home, my pets thrive on a routine, so I understand how important it is to stick to the schedule they know. I will follow instructions closely and always make sure your pets get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles!

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”
